SUMMARY  

  • Please refer to local prescribing information for storage and stability information.
  • Johnson & Johnson cannot recommend any practices, procedures, or storage conditions that deviate from product labeling and are not approved by the regulatory agencies.

    • Stability studies support a 24-month expiration-dating period for DARZALEX vials when stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) and protected from light, with excursions permitted between -20°C to -1ºC (-4°F to 30.2°F) for up to 6 days cumulative exposure with a maximum of 3 excursions.
  • DARZALEX (100 mg/5 mL and 400 mg/20 mL) vials containing sorbitol2:
    • Stability studies support a 24-month expiration-dating period for DARZALEX vials when stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) and protected from light, with excursions permitted between -20°C to 1ºC (-4°F to 33.8°F) for up to 9 days cumulative excursions in no more than 3 excursions (3 days each).
